POLLACHI: A summer thunderstorm devastated parts of Pollachi
and surrounding areas on Friday night, damaging houses and crops and
throwing normal life out of gear. The countryside presented a
devastating sight with broken coconut trees and flattened plantain
trees. Farmers were crestfallen with their hard labour of months
destroyed in 10 minutes, when powerful wind accompanied by rain swept
the land.

The loss is estimated to be more than Rs 2 crore.
Thousands of coconut trees standing in 200 acre of land were damaged and
50,000 plantain trees flattened. Electric poles have been uprooted
plunging nearly 10 villages in darkness. Villages including C
Gopalapuram, Aradhanairpalayam, Palakkarai, Keerapalayam and R
Ponnapuram near Pollachi were affected by the storm.

For S
Jayaprakash, a farmer from C Gopalapuram, the loss was a twin blow. An
hour after the strong winds that accompanied the thundershower destroyed
his crops, his mother died. "Will I take care of the damaged crops or
make funeral arrangements? My mother was ill for a long time and she was
92. So I guess it is ok. But I am unable to cope. We do not know whom
to turn to at this moment of crisis and personal loss," said
Jayaprakash. Read More!!!
